September: Comin’ in a little hot 😳but here we are, already!
I learned something this summer. Or maybe I relearned it.

This summer brought some new challenges. Steep ones.

The biggest wasn’t a surprise…I knew it was coming. And I know I can do hard things. I’m capable. I’m competent. (That confidence is hard-earned 💛). But sometimes the things that uniquely test us have a way of inviting self-doubt in. Insecurity.

Can I really do this? Do I have enough time? Enough energy? Do I know enough? What if I get it wrong?

And sometimes those questions don’t stop us. They just delay us…and make everything more rushed and potentially less enjoyable.

The most nourishing lesson I’m imprinting from this summer is remarkably simple:

Just. Start.

You don’t have to know how you’re going to do the whole thing. You don’t need all the answers or all the energy or even all the confidence you’ll eventually need.

You just need enough for the first step.

And it’s funny what happens after that. You learn something…Then you can do a little more. Something that felt hard becomes familiar. You figure out the next thing. You get stronger.

Not BEFORE you begin….along the way 😉

Saffron corms have arrived! Saffron is an essential winter spice in Sweden…arriving via trade routes in the 1300’s- it’s bright yellow color became a symbol of light during the dark, cold Swedish winters. It’s most famously used to bake golden lussekatter (saffron buns) for Saint Lucia’s Day or Festival of Light on December 13💙💛

Once in a while, someone makes a lot of music and also makes the world feel a lot more connected…even beyond the music.

Dolly crossed generations. Genres. Geography. So many very different people could find a little common ground in Dolly.

Her magic was the music, of course, but also the humor. The kindness. The generosity. And the extraordinary bravery of spending a lifetime being unapologetically, unmistakably yourself.

What a wonderful legacy to leave behind: songs we’ll keep singing, books in the hands of children, laughter, kindness…and a reminder that there is room in this world to be exactly who you are.

Thank you for the music, Dolly. Thank you for all of it. 🤍 Dolly Parton

Let’s call this one: Calm After the Storm. Wow. That was a storm last night. ⛈️ My calming thought: ‘Bishop Hill has been here for almost 180 years, Bishop Hill has been here for almost 180 years.’ 😉 As I count gratitudes for that steadiness and for sump pumps (!)…I also count this little shop and bakery. Crossing paths that may otherwise not have crossed. Fun and meaningful conversations that may not happen otherwise. Sharing milestones that are happy and sad and everything in between. We are grateful to be the one last summer hurrah before school starts, THE treat craved during pregnancy, the one your aunt used to make, or just the one that brightens your day. You make our weekends…it’s really our treat 🤗 Thank you 💙💛

I’ve lived in the Southeast, on the East Coast, the West Coast and in the Midwest.

But those are only the places I’ve lived.

For much of my career, I was going…flying, ferrying, taking trains and driving through big cities, tiny towns and remote corners of the country.

I loved it.

I still do.

And somewhere along the way, my relationship to place changed.

There isn’t a perfect place. Only places that teach you different ways of being alive.

I wrote about going, staying, and what it means to finally be right where you are.

Going Taught Me to See…new on Substack.
